Summary: Caps Lock LED indicator does not turn on
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version First 6.5.4
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor

SUMMARY
Caps Lock LED indicator does not turn on with a proprietary keyboard under KDE
Plasma/Wayland.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Keyboard used: Logitech MX Keys
Registered in kcm_keyboard as
Model: Generic | Generic 105-key PC
Num Lock on startup: Turn on
Key repeat [v] Delay 600ms Rate: 25 repeats/s.
Layout: French
OBSERVED RESULT
Issue: the caps lock LED does not turn on when the key is pressed. It works in
TTY/console mode though. But it does not work under KDE Plasma 6.5.4/Wayland
(and prior versions).
Unstable workaround:
kbd_mode -f -u reinstates the LED but such a command tampers with KDE Plasma
which ends up crashing.
Tested alternatives:
I explorer the 'Key Bindings' section but did not identify any setting.
EXPECTED RESULT
Caps Lock LED shall be turned on when enabled
